A large moon should absolutely mess this tidal locking up fwiw since it will have far more influence than the star just as our moon has far more tidal influence than our sun. Not that I think tidal locking is a blocker for life but it’s also not a big deal since large moons are extremely common and therefore the tidal locking is not guaranteed.
